Blackberries...

Guess what happened to these berries....
Yup, Tobers ate them! Notice the scratches on his upper lip.....he had a bike accident and ran into a tree branch, poor baby, that is actually quite a bit healed up now.

We went berry picking yesterday! It was fun, we started out with blackberries. We got approx 4 gallons of blackberries for jam and cobblers. YUM. It was a bit hot for me though, I am lightweight when it comes to viciuos blackberry thorns and heat.
Spud Man gets to use the ladder to reach the higher up ones.
Holden got a branch of two cut off so he could eat some too without getting entangled in the vines!

Mr Wonderful risking injury to gather food for us.....Awe...
The whole gang.
Sunshine displays the dual purpse of a halloween bucket complete with a replacement handle made of bailing twine.
The days work.

Standard equipment for the day....berry stains all around. Coming up next....huckleberry picking...

Looks like a successful day of berry picking. We cheated. We bought two flats of them from farmer's market a couple weeks ago. This has been a great year for the berries- they are abundant and huge!
